It's mostly jokes in here I think, nothing personal...

Water cooler talk while we're waiting on new Laker content

So here's a question, do you want Anthony Davis starting at center or power forward? This will probably be based on the personnel as much as anything, but I'm curious what ya'll think.

Playing center opens up the floor for him and the team, but puts more stress on his body and asks the rest of the team to gang rebound and be on a string on defense. Playing power forward allows him to roam more and usually results in an instant mismatch, but it also crowds the floor for LeBron and the guards.

if AD is gonna continue shooting his shoe size from 3
he needs to put his big boy pants on and get in the paint

PF. He’s not a banger. Opposing bigs will out muscle him for rebounds and he’ll get hurt more.

Jokic, Embiid, Ayton even guys like Gobert, Steven Adams and Valencunas will out rebound him and push him around

Whatever stops him from shooting fadeaways when there's a mouse in the house, that's what position I want him to play.

Whatever makes him stop hovering behind the arc so damn much, that's what position I want him to play.

bron needs to play power forward imo he’s to slow to create from the perimeter or get past anyone AD at center

 

[DLF]

Ad at center with a gifted offensive COACH

 

[grittyman]

AD can start the game at the 4, but he needs to close at the 5.

What about when you asked me if russell westbrook ****** my sister?

 

[geno90221]

bron needs to play power forward imo he’s to slow to create from the perimeter or get past anyone AD at center

Then he’s in the paint more and that’s how he always hurts his ankle lately

IMO it’s like being a good teacher. If I have great classroom management, my class is well organized, clear and defined objectives/lesson plans, blah blah blah your class might be a well oiled machine and will look great even when a substitute shows up. But the principal isn’t going to walk into a staff meeting and say teaching doesn’t matter and let’s hire the janitor to do this job instead.

IDK I say we get Bron and AD healthy, forget about hiring a coach. Jeanie and Linda can call Michelle Pfeiffer in and she can just teach the dudes about Bob Dylan

 

[grittyman]

Huh?

I don’t even use profanity on this site bro, there’s been zero interactions that I can think of that would make me come at someone with a personal attack.

 

[noblekane]

Yes, they are.

Vogel just got fired. For what the players did on the court. Scapegoated. Which is EXACTLY what happened. Everyone is calling them out for it now too. (Which is good)

coaches die everyday b

its nothing new

only reason why people calling it out is cuz its the lakers and any chance they get they will pile on the lakers for

also if they canned vogel's *** 3 games after all star break like they should have there wouldnt have been any complaints.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

lol my guy u was caping for russ back in November when I was on his bumper early

It’s good bro, I didn’t forget.

If I had an actual sister I might take it as disrespect, but since I don’t I interpreted it as you just defending your boy Russ.

And thats fine too.

But to throw stones and hide your hands though, mad beta.

Continue on with the cooler talk though

I really don't know who to blame, to be honest.

Not Vogel, I know that.

[Brosizzlew30.23]

So what’s more important - a good coach or great players?

Either or, if you want to be in the playoffs.

To win a championship, you need both a good coach AND great players. Generally speaking.

no sir. I promise.

no profanity

Caping for Russ? I remember those interactions now. It was like #Coachgate but even worse so I basically asked who hurt you bro. That’s not cap that’s being annoyed by the obsessive behavior.

You right it’s all good though

 

[SORIANOTRON]

LOL @ “I remember now”

And to answer your question Russell Westbrook hurt me & my team with his atrocious play this year

Now I see you making the same critique’s about russell you had initially tried to slight me for.

Funny how that works huh.
